Dammit. Didn't intend on doing anything this pricey for BF, but I got a Helsinki lifetime VPS for around $60 bucks with the coupon...the thing that sold me is the ability to upgrade later, because I was a little unsure on some of the specs.

Finland has been the most solid of my lifetime zap purchases. I feel like since this isnt their location, it's more reliable lol Was a good choice. Enjoy!

You need to login every 3 months iirc. I've got a google calender reminder set for this. If you don't do this, you will be reminded via email and get another x weeks to reach out (check tos). If you still don't contact them your service gets deleted. It's not ideal, but totally doable and probably confirms that people actually are using the service.
Raised a support ticket tonight on a Sunday around 9pm with ZAP Hosting Support expecting a reply sometime tomorrow. Before submitting it showed 7 minutes average reply time, but didn't think that would apply on weekends. Seems like it does. Got a helpful reply only minutes after, which fixed the issue

Has anyone got dedicated server with Zap?
hows the disk/ssd and the overall server performance?
As @Ympker said, I have one of these. I got it around May 2023 for just under 500eur at the time. I'm mostly using it as a remote development box which it's been fine for. Only had to contact support once, which they were quick to respond.
The only "complaint" I have is that the iLO is very laggy when I've used it to change the OS previously compared to other hosts, but it's fine if I'm patient!
Not anything that impressive spec-wise, but it's a pretty good deal nearly two years later.
I got a rootserver (KVM) and a VPS (LXC) on Black Friday last year. For the price, they work fine, but certainly nothing to write home about, and of course the point of the lifetime server is that the longer you use it the more value you get out of it. What's odd to me is that the LXC performs significantly better than the KVM despite having very similar hardware.

Will see if I get smth tomorrow then. Don't really have a need for it, but will see

Lifetime VPS code is now live -
Save 35% on Lifetime VPSs
Code: j124IUwx
Yeah, was wondering whether to get one, but don't really have use case haha
KVM maybe more, but will see.
Edit: Guess I'm boring today. Took the 200€ I put aside for spontaneous zap lifetime purchases and instead bought Vanguard FTSE All World.

The whole point of black friday is to buy without having any use case

True haha

Valid until the new year
Dammit, I already bought 2 during the BF sales...
BF sales were way bigger discounts though. Better wait for next bf 😂

True, I got 30% off for both my VPS and my rootserver!
Yep! This is more for if you happened to miss the BF and still wanted something
Still happy about any discounts you post here as sometimes you might it sooner than later

Thanks for sharing, mate
Still happy with my two lifetime vps and the lifetime Plesk Webhosting.
The discounts aren't tempting enough for lifetime though, considering BF sales :P Then again, I don't really need more anyway.

@ialexpw has one iirc
Also @rubenmdh
I'd assume the servers are nothing special, but the fact you can get them for a one off fee, is.

very low
Damn... the disk speed/performance is worse than what am getting on the rootserver with Zap.
I guess ill stick with my VPS and rootserver.
PS the SSD IO speed can be somewhat improved: https://www.reddit.com/r/zaphosting/comments/1hj95tu/increased_ssd_io_speed_of_my_zaphosting_dedicated/
but yeah, they're using shitty budget-SSDs on their dedis...
Seems like they started shrinking my RAM via ballooning
Can anyone check in their root VPS if they see the same?
Seems like blacklisting the balloon module would be a breach of ToS
never in my life seen a provider do this in a "Rootserver" KVM even after claiming that there's no resource sharing in https://zap-hosting.com/en/root-server-hosting/

Seems like we'll get more vouchers for cashbox soon.
